The loss of seagrass in Cockburn Sound, Western Australia. II. Possible causes of seagrass decline
TL;DR: Examination of possible reasons for the extensive loss of seagrass in Cockburn Sound suggests light reduction by enhanced growth of epiphytes and loose-lying blankets of filamentous algae in nutrient enriched waters is suggested as the most likely cause of decline.

Marsh nutrient export supplied by groundwater discharge: Evidence from radium measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass balance of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) in the North Inlet salt marsh -estuarine system was determined by using a radium mass balance, and it was shown that the underlying aquifer supplies nutrients sufficient to support the net primary productivity of the salt marsh ecosystem.

Influence of Amphibian Larvae on Primary Production, Nutrient Flux, and Competition in a Pond Ecosystem
TL;DR: In a pond ecosystem near St. Louis, Missouri, natural variations in tadpole biomass during 1971-1972 were accompanied by shifts in patterns of nutrient cycling and primary production, particularly when metamorphoses caused abrupt removal of these transient consumers.

Importance of biofilm for water quality and nourishment in intensive shrimp culture
TL;DR: The presence of a biofilm lead to reduced exportation of phosphorus (33% less phosphate) and to a higher output of nitrate+nitrite, instead of ammonium, and was also an important complementary food source for the shrimp, increasing their growth.

Chemoautotrophy in the redox transition zone of the Cariaco Basin: A significant midwater source of organic carbon production
Gordon T. Taylor,M. Iabichella,Tung-Yuan Ho,Mary I. Scranton,Robert C. Thunell,Frank E. Muller-Karger,Ramon Varela +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new evidence that bacterial chemoautotrophy, fueled by reduced sulfur species, supports an active secondary microbial food web in the redox transition zone (RTZ) and is potentially a large midwater source of labile, chemically unique, sedimenting biogenic debris to the basin's interior.
